A typical dryer machine operates at an average noise level between 65 and 66 decibels (dB).
Understanding Dryer Noise Levels
This noise level is comparable to the sound of two people having an enthusiastic conversation. While it's not excessively loud compared to some appliances, it's distinct enough to be clearly audible when running a cycle.
Practical Considerations for Placement
Given its noise output, it's often advisable to strategically place your dryer machine. Since you can clearly hear it while it's in operation, it's generally best to:
- Locate it away from quiet areas such as bedrooms or living rooms.
- Place it in a dedicated utility room, basement, or garage if possible, to minimize sound disturbance in main living spaces.
This ensures that the sound of the dryer does not interfere with daily activities or rest.
